Endurance of VB-C50i and VB-C300's pan/tilt mechanisms are approximately 100,000 round trips* at the full range. The total tour time depends on the combination of the movement rate, movement range, and still time. See the following tables.

Total tour time for 100,000 round trips in the pan direction (estimated).

Example: If the movement rate (PT) is 1, still time is 30 seconds, and movement range (angle) in the pan direction is 50 degrees, it takes approximately 9,444 hours for 100,000 round trips in the pan direction.

Endurance of VB-C60's pan/tilt mechanism is approximately 300,000 round trips* at the full range.
